A great deal I am sure, and likely now is a good time for an amnesty of sorts as Apple needs to acknowledge the existence of the hackers who by design prefer to build their own kit, rather than buy genuine Apple goods that they cannot modify sufficiently to satisfy their own needs. That is totally besides the point and off topic – however I wonder how much Apple make out of hackers who pay for apps and memberships? I was always surprised that Apple did not introduce a DRM check to validate the equipment that their OS runs on?ģ. Having spent $Ks over the years since the early G4 days I have no problem with the EULA when they were shipping goods that were not of merchantable quality – yes there was a small claims case here. I became a hacker thru Apple’s inability to acknowledge the overheating issues with the 2009 MacPro, which in the end involved the intervention of SJ himself. Pike – I regret you/we were criticised you know where, my comments to the STAFF member were in private – but life is too short to be concerned by narrow mindfulness!Ģ. Should have been changed a long time ago, but I forgot about it.ġ. Part about the locking of the /System directory reworded, this because it is unclear in which version of OS X it will be locked down.Įdit 3: Reworded a sentence that stated that people would be unable to use OS X 10.9 Mavericks on their hack. Source: Apple WWDC session video (707) and PDF.Įdit: Example of “ Kernel extensions are not from identified developers” added.Įdit 2: Source added. We just have to wait and see when it happens, but if this is introduced (in whatever OS version that may be) then we are locked out and that means that editing plists and/or patching bin (executable) files of signed kexts will be impossible, and since there are plenty kexts that need a binary and/or plist patch… you soon get the picture. ![]() Code signing error codes are in amework:Ĭom.apple.kextd: WARNING – Invalid signature -67030 for kext URL = “file:///Users/local/AppleSamplePCI.kext/”, ID – “.SamplePCI”Īll kernel extensions in: /Library/Extensions must be signed and unsigned or otherwise invalid kexts in: /System/Library/Extensions will trigger an annoying dialog.Īpple also said that the /System directory will be locked in the future, but didn’t mention when or in which version of OS X that would be done.-67030: something in kext bundle was modified.Most common code signature verification error codes.Code signature verification warnings and error messages.But users will see this – rather annoying – dialog.Kexts outside /Library/Extensions will load if they are unsigned or have a signature verification error.Users will see the “no load” alert dialog (need to OK it).Kexts in /Library/Extensions will NOT load if they are unsigned or have a signature verification error.New with OS X 10.9, certificate for signing applications and kexts.Do not install anywhere in /System ( locked in the near future).Signed kexts CAN go into: /Library/Extensions.OS X 10.9 and earlier, install unsigned kexts in /System/Library/Extensions.OS X 10.9, /Systems/Library/Extensions (for compatibility).OS X 10.9, /Library/Extensions MUST be signed!. ![]() Auto-load kexts required for rooting, or auto-searching ofkexts.Must code sign* kexts in /Library/Extensions. ![]() Searches in /System/Library/Extensions and /Library/Extensions.OS X 10.9 auto-load, on-demand load by CFBundleIdentifier, and kernel cache build.Valid code signatures will eventually be mandatory for all kexts.OS X 10.9 Signed kexts will not load on releases prior to OS X 10.8.OS X 10.9 unsigned or invalid signatures are non fatal (with one* exception).OS X 10.9 all kexts signatures are verified.OS X 10.9 code signing verification for kexts.Until someone comes up with another great hack of course. The side effect is that it might stop people, eventually, from using the latest and greatest aka OS X 10.9 Mavericks on a hack (didn’t happen in the 10.9 GM but it may still happen in 10.10). Keeping the bad guys out… to help protect you and your hardware. The following information is a developer must read – bad news for hackintosh users – and good news for (future) Mac users.
